hi and welcome to my profile! I'm a biologist from 🇪🇦, I did my master thesis on testate amoebae, and I am beginning my PhD on more basal protists
my main interest is protists, but I like a few other things – nature, videogames, history, music, drawing, wikipedia – that I might post about sometimes

A unique symbiosome in an anaerobic single-celled eukaryote - Nature Communications
Symbiont-housing structures are well-studied in multicellular eukaryotes but rarely in unicellular protists. This study shows that low-oxygen-adapted Anaeramoebae have symbiosomes positioning sul...

This funding gap isn’t distant or only affecting big name universities. We have incredible research happening right here in Maine.
Federal funding helped enable my team to find a 1-billion year old link between how weird algae and plants communicate stress. Understanding the roots of that process can help us better interpret the origins of plant stress resilience.

Definitively uninstalled twitter, I hope to find other protistologists here as well ❤️🩹 #protistsonsky
